General Information On Frankincense Oil

By Lelia Hall


Essential oils are used for many different purposes and benefits. Frankincense, also known as olibanum, is a milky sap that is white in color and extracted from Boswellia genustrees. The extracted sap is hardened into gum resin and then scraped into droplets. The resin can then be made into frankincense oil, which is available for many different purposes, including those involved with natural healing and aromatherapy.

African and Arabian regions are home to the most Boswellia trees. Oman is one of the most well-known and older sources. From this area, it is shipped to regions around the globe. There are numerous sources and retailers of these products. People should seek out the best quality oil available to them in order to reap the maximum results.

High-quality frankincense is silvery and clear, but has a slight green tint. The yellow-brown varieties are considered the cheapest and are often the more readily available.
